The tall, willowy trees of the Starwood Strand gave way to a clearing, its luminous canopy opening up towards the night sky. A string of lanterns hung at the branches, casting dim light where the glowing flowers could not reach.

It was like entering a dream-- you could hardly remember how you got there in the first place.

“Welcome, friends! A Happy Starfall Celebration to you!” a voice cut through the thicket of your reveries.

@Cielka Do we use the small stars, or only the really obvious ones? And is it necessary to draw over the constellation we make?
[e] I super apologize. I didn't even notice you had a wip FAQ section! Sorry! Just so excited for this.

[i]"Moon, stop your shining, I want to go to sleep!"[/i] She called out, upset by the Moon's terrible manners. But the Moon, despite hearing her calls, kept on shining for the rest of the night and, already wrapped up in her blanket, the little Nocturne couldn't get a moment of sleep. The next morning the little Nocturne was very upset, and devised a plan to go visit the Moon and stop him from being so rude again. So she waited for night and soon enough the Moon returned, shining even brighter than before. Making sure to bring her nice, warm blanket, the little Nocturne set out to confront the moon. After what felt like forever, the little Nocturne finally found the Moon, watching over the clouds and the stars. [i]"Moon! Why must you shine so brightly!"[/i] the little Nocturne said angrily, tired and cranky from her journey. [i]"The rest of the world is trying to sleep and you insist on keeping us up."[/i] The Moon looked away from the sparkling stars and smiled sadly at the little Nocturne. [i]"I wish I could sleep but it is cold and lonely up here, and I am too afraid of the darkness."[/i] The little Nocturne looked around at the night sky. She saw how far the stars had wandered and how cold the night air was and felt sorry for the Moon. [i]"I will stay here with you tonight, you can even have my blanket."[/i] The little Nocturne told the Moon. And that night the moon slept for the first time in a long time, curled up in the little Nocturne's blanket. Resting his weary eyes, the only light in the sky was that of the far-away stars. So every month the little Nocturne journeys through the sky and visits her tired friend the Moon, bringing him her blanket so he can sleep. And in the darkness her blanket creates, the little Nocturne can finally sleep too.

'The Little Nocturne'

Many a hatchling's favorite constellation, the fable of The Little Nocturne and her blanket is told in many clans to explain the darkness of a new moon to fascinated youngsters.

As the story goes, there was once a mischievous young Nocturne that was always taking other dragon's things and getting into trouble.
One night, when she was getting ready to go to bed she simply couldn't fall asleep. Frowning up at the night sky, she saw the full moon and all the stars twinkling in the sky.

"Moon, stop your shining, I want to go to sleep!" She called out, upset by the Moon's terrible manners.
But the Moon, despite hearing her calls, kept on shining for the rest of the night and, already wrapped up in her blanket, the little Nocturne couldn't get a moment of sleep.

The next morning the little Nocturne was very upset, and devised a plan to go visit the Moon and stop him from being so rude again. So she waited for night and soon enough the Moon returned, shining even brighter than before. Making sure to bring her nice, warm blanket, the little Nocturne set out to confront the moon.

After what felt like forever, the little Nocturne finally found the Moon, watching over the clouds and the stars.

"Moon! Why must you shine so brightly!" the little Nocturne said angrily, tired and cranky from her journey. "The rest of the world is trying to sleep and you insist on keeping us up."

The Moon looked away from the sparkling stars and smiled sadly at the little Nocturne.

"I wish I could sleep but it is cold and lonely up here, and I am too afraid of the darkness."

The little Nocturne looked around at the night sky. She saw how far the stars had wandered and how cold the night air was and felt sorry for the Moon.

"I will stay here with you tonight, you can even have my blanket." The little Nocturne told the Moon. And that night the moon slept for the first time in a long time, curled up in the little Nocturne's blanket. Resting his weary eyes, the only light in the sky was that of the far-away stars.

So every month the little Nocturne journeys through the sky and visits her tired friend the Moon, bringing him her blanket so he can sleep. And in the darkness her blanket creates, the little Nocturne can finally sleep too.
